1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. You can have an appointment with the creator of the cosmos. All you have to do is call His name and He will make time on His calendar for you.
3. Scripture
   1. John 16:23-28
   2. Jesus: When all this transpires, you will finally have the answers you have been seeking. I tell you the truth, anything you ask of the Father in My name, He will give to you.  Until this moment, you have not sought after anything in My name. Ask and you will receive so that you will be filled with joy.

I have been teaching you all of these truths through stories and metaphors, but the time is coming for Me to speak openly and directly of the Father.

The day is coming when you will make a request in My name, but I will not represent you before the Father.  You will be heard directly by the Father. The Father loves you because you love Me and know that I come from the Father.  I came from the Father into the cosmos, but soon I will leave it and return to the Father.

4. Devotional
   1. I’m not sure we understand the implications of Jesus’ words to the disciples most of the time or we would do things a lot differently
   2. You will be heard directly by the Father
      1. Think about who He is
         1. Creator of the cosmos
         2. Billions of galaxies, farthest one we can see is 32 billion light years away
         3. Each galaxy has billions of stars
         4. 960,000 earths in our star, the sun, not even mid-sized, more on the small size
      2. If our solar system was the size of the United States, earth would be the size of a quarter
      3. God spoke and it came into being
   3. God keeps everything running smoothly just for His pleasure
      1. Created this earth with just the right amount of air and water and all the elements necessary for life
      2. Created you
      3. Miracle of birth, life started, you took a breath, an impossibility when you count the odds
   4. Think of how insignificant we are in comparison
      1. What have you created lately?
      2. Anything you created came from ingredients that already existed
      3. God made everything out of nothing, He provided the raw materials you might use for your creative bent
   5. Yet He calls us to talk with Him and ask for His help, to ask for things that will bring glory to Him
   6. He opens His appointment book for us
      1. We don’t understand just who He is
      2. We become too familiar and fail to stand in awe of the Creator of all things
      3. We don’t take advantage of His open invitation to come into His presence
   7. Balance between the two.
      1. Creator
      2. Father
      3. Talk with Him today
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
